This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Semcon operates in multiple sectors including Life Science, Energy, Industry, Mobility, and the Public sector. Its business model centers on consulting and technology services, offering strategic business design, product development, digital solutions, and sustainability expertise. The recent merger with Knightec expands its capabilities and market reach. The company targets businesses and organizations undergoing transformation and seeking innovative technology solutions. The website content and social media presence reinforce its market position and credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes Knightec Group as a key partner. Growth indicators include the merger and a broad service portfolio. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting contracts and long-term client engagements.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options, indicating adherence to security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page and lack of public security contact emails represent gaps in transparency. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to enhance compliance and responsiveness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible, or provide domain registration details on the website for legitimacy assurance.

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, with Sanity CMS as the content management system. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring, alongside a cookie consent script to comply with privacy laws. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Performance is fast with efficient image loading and preloading strategies. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found but the site uses CDN services for media delivery. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust, scalable, and user-friendly digital experience.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
